How Do You Collect Free Gems in "Clash of Clans?"?

Removing bushes, trees and stones earns players free gems in “Clash of Clans.” While cleaning up an area of debris, players may also unlock achievements that have the potential to reward them with free gems as well. The key to earning free gems in “Clash of Clans” is patience.

An example of an achievement that rewards players with free gems is “Nice and Tidy.” Players have to clean a field to earn this achievement. Along with the gems that they earn while cleaning the field, they also earn bonus gems with this achievement. Unfortunately, they can only earn an achievement once.

Since players need gems to raise an army in “Clash of Clans,” the developers made the earning process slow. Players who want to earn gems quickly have to use real-world money to purchase in-game gems. Players can buy different gem packages that range from 500 to 14,000 gems.

The goal of “Clash of Clans” is for players to lead their armies to greatness. Some of the units that they can have in their armies include wizards, hog riders, dragons, archers and barbarians. After building an army, players battle with other gamers from around the world in an attempt to take their trophies. Players can even join together to form the ultimate clan and fight rival clans.
